2: University of
Patras, Greece
The University of
Patras was founded
in the City of
Patras in 1964 and
started its
operation during
the academic year
1966-67. It was
established
primarily with the
intention to
concentrate on
sciences,
technology,
economics, business
administration and
social sciences.
These objectives
had, in the course
of time, to be
adapted to new
prospects arising
from the
recognition of the
role of knowledge
and technology in
social and cultural
growth. The initial
emphasis on science
and technology has
been extended to
other academic
areas such as
health sciences and
humanities. Today,
twenty-two
Departments with a
large number of
sectors and
consequently a
great range of
disciplines,
reflect a balanced
academic
environment. It is
the third largest
University in the
country and the
fastest growing one
with 20,000
undergraduate
students, 2,000
post-graduate
students, 670
teaching staff, 370
administrative
personnel and 400
teaching and
research
assistants.
3: University of
Ioannina, Greece
Sixteen Departments
constitute the
basic autonomous
academic units of
the University.
Reflecting the
traditional
division into the
various branches of
knowledge, they
offer undergraduate
and graduate
programmes, and
they grant
respective degrees.
Related Departments
are grouped into
Schools,
representing
broader areas of
knowledge.
All the Departments
of the University
are divided into
Sectors, which
cover more
specialized areas
of science.
The University
Campus is located
6km from the centre
of the city of
Ioannina and is one
of the largest
University campuses
in Greece. It
covers a total area
of almost 850 acres
with many green
open spaces, which
surround the four
main buildings.
These buildings
cover an area of
170,000 m2,
consisting of
lecture-halls,
offices,
laboratories,
libraries, etc.
Large classes are
held in auditoria,
while scientific
meetings and
exhibitions are
